The schools run by the Department of Defense have better outcomes that most public schools. These are some things the do differently:
• pay teachers more
• provide all needed supplies (so teachers don't have to buy them)
• racially integrated
• socioeconomically integrated
• uniform, proven curriculum
• families have housing and food
• at least one parent has a job
Who knew that doing things like paying teachers a living wage would be a good idea? (A: anybody who thought about it!)
